About 15 minutes after the Algues Alpe, a strong thunderstorm came up, so I ran back to seek shelter in the old cowshed.

One lap, two lakes.
Start at the mountain station of the Grasjochbahn. Narrow trail over livestock pastures to the upper Alpguessee via the lower Alpguessee to the Alpguess. Challenging climb over the mountain ridge back to the mountain station of the Grasjochbahn. Fantastic tour through alpine terrain.⛰️🪨🔝🐄🌸.

Up and down with the Grasjochbahn. At the top, the circular route, which, of course, has more elevation and distance than Komoot told me. (630 vs. 940 elevation). Timing is everything, I was back at the cable car just in time for the approaching thunderstorm. The wind then picked up so much that the descent was also an adventure, about …
